The film's pioneering biography is worth recalling and learning from. The shortcomings are obvious, but it is still difficult to conceal the overall success of the film. The regular "three-stage" external frame of "Steve Jobs" is quite rigid, and the overly obvious paragraph-style narrative may cause the audience to be tired. Fortunately, the film's performance in editing is pleasing and beneficial. Excellent performance by Michael Fassbender.
